After Collingwood Thompson KC said this morning Gulammustafa had the "best view in the world" it got me thinking what the Judge and KCs actually look like, so I've just Googled them all...
Judge - Timothy Spencer KC -
Ancient Nomads, Modern Travellers
Crown - Collingwood Thompson KC -
Collingwood Thompson KC - Barrister - 7BR Barristers Chambers
What shocked me after reading all the BIOs is "Wow, this trial must be costing an absolute fortune!!" - Most of these barristers appear to be at the top of the Bar, specialising in Murder / Manslaughter and must be charging 'someone' a fortune for their services (they look like the cream of the crop, I'm no expert in any of this btw, just going by their BIOs
)
The two that stood out the most were Christopher Millington (who's BIO makes him sound like the KC to have if your a criminal, saying that, it doesn't say in any of the BIOs how many they won/lost for their clients!?) and Adam Kane (who doesn't appear to specialise in Murder / Manslaughter and seems to be more specialised in financial crimes.
Is it published anywhere if these are all legal aid or are they being paid for by the defendants?
